The world has been formed by the play of Five great elements viz Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Every object visible and invisible is formed by these elements. The human body is not an exception to this.
For a living organism, this elemental combination is enthused with prana shakti, which makes it alive. There are several energy points in the human body which control various life functions on physical , psychological and spiritual levels. They are called Chakras.
These are depicted by lotuses in the Yogic and Tantric literature, but they cannot be seen with naked eyes. According to many researchers, they are nerve ganglia located along the spinal column.
A brief study of the effects of the activations and imbalances of these chakras will yield a better understanding of the extent of influence of the use of rudrakshas for better life.
While we go about the study of the chakra system we will come to know that practically the entire gamut of human life has been covered by the chakras vibrating within us. The pranashakti vibrating at different levels in different individuals is responsible for the various incidents that take place in the material, physical, psychological and spiritual planes. It is imperative therefore, that we study this system for an in depth understanding of the role of rudrakshas in our progress.
We should understand that, unless we have satisfied our needs at the base level, we will have to struggle to get these fulfilled at the subtler levels. This can be extremely detrimental to our progress.

Chakras, their functions and Rudrakshas
1. Mooladhara Chakra:
This chakra is located at the base of the spine in the space between the genitals and rectum called perinium. It is the seat of the Kundalini shakti. It is the origination of Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadis which are responsible for the circulation of Prana shakti (life force) within the body as well as the spiritual progress of the individual.
Imbalances at this Chakra level often results in lower back pain, sciatica, varicose veins, rectal tumors/cancers, depression and immunity related disorders. Problems with legs,bones feet, rectum and immune system also spring forth from congestion in the Mooladhara.
Lack of life force, very little joy in life, lack of confidence, existence fears, mistrust, phobias, mental weakness, intestinal weakness, hemorrhoids, constipation, back pain, sciatica, lumbago, bone disease osteoporosis, anemia, blood pressure, stress disorders, and allergic complaints are other effects of Mooladhara imbalance.
When balanced and activated, Muladhara confers eloquence, social superiority, good health, serene mind and genius.
The use of 4 mukhi Rudraksha which represents Brahma and bestows verbal prowess, learning and ethical life proves effective for the activation of this chakra.
This can be combined with 6 mukhi Rudraksh which represents Kartikeya and Ganesha.
This rudraksha gives good health, learning and monetary stability. Therefore a combination of both these Rudrakshas will be extremely beneficial. Students, teachers, professors, academicians, sports persons, people involved in intensive physical activities, as well as those feeling a drop in their physical capabilities should wear this rudraksh.
8 mukhi Rudraksha, which represents Ganesha can also be worn for this chakra, this rudraksha is capable of bestowing intelligence and personality development – says the Devi Bhagavatam.
11 mukhi Rudraksha as per the Devi Bhagavatam represents Indra and can also be used for activation of this chakra. It induces comfort, happiness and victory.
Theraputic use of rudraksha for maintaining a healthy Mooladhara chakra should be combined with walking, foot massages, sports, fresh air, gardening and rhythmic music.
